Since the 1970s there has been a growing trend for psychiatrists to establish formal attachments to primary care and these now form an important component of community psychiatry (Strathdee & Williams, 1984). In this paper a six stage plan for the establishment of a psychiatric attachment is proposed. The framework outlined may be modified in the light of local service, training and research needs.

Success of any unconventional shale development depends heavily on the effectiveness of the completion design. Geology, lithology, and production mechanism are the key drivers that determine how prolific a shale play can be. Identification of the geological and reservoir characteristics of the shale play needs to be performed prior to optimizing the completion design. A comprehensive completion design optimization plan is then needed to effectively harness the resource-in-place. The plan needs to account for the variations in the geology, hydrocarbon types, yield, true vertical depths, etc. within the asset. An optimum completion design will be different for rocks with various geologic and reservoir properties. It is equally important to realize that different completion parameters have varying effect on the well performance and the well economics. It is a challenge for an asset team to develop an optimized completion plan by testing different completion parameters in different geological regions within an asset. Rigorous reservoir modeling and economic analysis are needed to determine the actual effect of a completion parameter on well performance. A change of a completion parameter may result in better well performance, but the net incremental cost associated with making that change might not be the best economic decision. This paper presents the workflow, the analysis, the results and implementation of the Eagle Ford shale completion design optimization plan. It also includes the details of the reservoir and economic analysis associated with each completion parameter test. Information presented in this paper will help completion engineers and asset teams design a workflow for selecting appropriate completion design solutions of an unconventional shale reservoir.
